Those were the days my men. These days kids are lucky to catch show like every week, striking off valuable RM8-9 or double that if they have a date. Last time in order to watch a movie, we planned for a week before going. And we never seem to watch the movie every week. Only those good movies then we tend to go watch.

haahahhaha… I don’t think the rat deliberately bit me. Think it got a bit lost amongst the kuacis and leftover food near where my feet was *grin*. My fondest memory were the jagungs and popcorns sold right outside Ruby theatre. Oh, and the restrooms were more accesible; now, the toilets are situated near the entrances and we waste precious screen time whilst taking a leak:P

Juan – I think the rat’s trying to hint you something. Probably 4D tips or something…Rats are not known to feast on humans …

keatix – Steamed peas, peanuts… omg, they’re damn good…

100 – Same here. I watched Jurassic Park with the BODs at Penang’s Cathay theater. It was great.
The building has now turned into an Indian movie theater…

it reminisced the good olde times of james bondages, starwars, indy etc etc

rex penang, however, features one special item. bbq bishop’s nose, damn it, that’s original. stole a piece from my fren’s stick of 5, real awesome. no more then, left penang shortly after studies.

Reading this made me remember I had to go to the clinic for a jab after being bitten by a rat! The little fella probably thought my big toe was a chicken drumstick or something…hehhehehehhe.
